This is an old property. Outdated small rooms. It was reasonably clean. If you want to be in the village, it is on the water. It's expensive due to location, not because it's a great place. There are better options that are still easy walking distance to the village.

The room was on the end of the pier and was clean. It had a kureig in the room, my husband needs his coffee. I wish there was more comfortable outside seating like the online photos. We were close to all the shops and restaurants. We were able to park the car and walk to everything. View from our window.

I traveled with my partner for our anniversary! The staff were so lovely and let us check in early as our room was ready.

We had a beautiful view of the water and parking was so convenient. I sprained my ankle a couple weeks ago so the being that close to everything on commercial was a treat.

Caught some amazing stars there both nights too! Love that it’s still family owned and operated, you get the extra attention and care. There was music Saturday night and we ate at the restaurant twice on the rooftop, both were great.

We went with another couple and we all enjoyed the Tugboat Inn...quaint with incredible harbor views, it was fun to have choices within the property (bar/pub downstairs, topside lunch restaurant, and full scale restaurant inside)..in fact, we brought our cribbage board and played games on our 2nd evening during the rainy period. This property is an EZ walk to everything downtown. We did the boat-ride-Island Clambake which was wonderful and priced right. We will be eating the leftovers tonight. We understand changes were made after Covid everywhere we have stayed, but it would have been nice if the housekeeping came by for a light trash pick up and an exchange of towels on our middle day. Otherwise, this property is a wonderful place to stay.

The rooms are smaller than I expected. I agree with others that it is outdated but as long as it is clean, I have no issued with that. We never had housekeeping and were not informed if we had to ask or if they had a schedule. We had to run down toilet paper and used the same towels for 5 days. The location was convenient but a few months ago I had a knee replacement walking from the room to the street was killer. I noticed other people having issues with the hill as well. You cannot change the hill, just making you aware. The bar staff were very pleasant in the lower level. The upper level had a pretty view. The restaurant was fine, found it odd they were closed on a Wednesday. Their loss there are plenty of food options. We stayed at their sister hotel last year (where you check in) and found that they had better views and were roomy, but more expensive. Overall not bad, but you are paying for being on the water here.

The Tugboat Inn is a cute, clean, friendly harbor Inn. You are very close to the waterfront, is it a little outdated - yes but that is part of the charm. Loved the patio outside your room.

This hotel has several different types of buildings and rooms, we chose a queen bed corner room at the end of the pier. Next to the lobster boats. It was older, a little cramped for two, but oh my, the views!! Three large picture windows with screens, on two different walls. If you want the Ritz, this isn't it, but if you love panoramic views of the harbor, vintage character, and a really cool experience of living above the water with boats, ducks, seals and birds all around you, you'll love this place. There are many other Tug Boat Inn rooms that I'm sure are newer and updated, but we loved our quaint little corner beside the boats. The restaurant was very nice- our seafood portions were huge and the desserts were amazing. The hotel service, all around, was awesome. The location and parking was perfect, also-we were on the end of the main drag, but very walkable to everything. The only reason we wouldn't give this a perfect review is just because of the age of our room and not a lot of space for luggage, etc, but we would rent it again in a heartbeat.

Our stay was fine for one night but I probably wouldn’t recommend it for longer. The room was very clean, but very small and my family of four were quite on top of one another. The view was beautiful though and the staff very friendly and helpful. It is quite conveniently located and worked well for our visit to the botanical gardens. In addition to the size being an issue, the room could use some TLC overall - cracks/missing grout, old fixtures and a general feeling of needing some updates. As I said though, very clean and friendly!!!

The beautiful view is the most outstanding part of the property. Rooms are clean but a bit tired. Beds are comfortable. Water pressure is weak in shower. No daily room cleaning service. Some power outlets did not work. But again, that view…

Property is at the end of downtown. It is a 2 minute walk to the free Bar Harbor trolley that can take you around town and even to the other side of the harbor. But downtown is all walkable from TugBoat. Our room was attached to the Tugboat which is the restaurant. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the shower has some of best water pressure I have ever experienced. Checkin was a breeze and the staff is very helpful in making sure you know your parking options and how to get to your room They provide a map of the property that has breakfast options around town We never had problems with parking at all. The views from our room were incredible as we were actually staying over the water

The hotel is right on the water & in the heart of town. Friendly & super helpful staff. Wonderful view of the harbor from our room. Nice restaurant with good seafood and excellent service. I left a fanny pack behind after dinner with cash, credit cards, and passport. It was promptly returned, nothing missing. We loved our stay and recommend the Tugboat Inn highly.

During a multi day road trip, this was our most serene and scenic stop. Boothbay Harbor is the most charming place I've been too. Definitely recommend!
